You know you are getting old when...
... you look at items in the shop/on people and remember wearing them the FIRST time round.
...you hear music on the radio that you remember 'coming out' and realise that the colleague stood next to you wasn't BORN!!
...you don't leave the house without a jacket when going out for the day or evening. You know 'it'll get chilly later'.
...you still have vinyl, nevermind cassettes, CDs and DVDs.
...you remember the video store having Betamax on one side, VHS on the other.
...you remember buying your bus ticket from a conductor with a little thingummyjig (actually, saying that is surely a sign in itself...), with little levers and colourful buttons and you got a little yellow square for 10p.
...oyster to you is something that people without sensitive gag reflexes eat.
I'll stop there, lol!

When your youngest granddaughter buys video tapes in charity shops, because although she hasn't got a player, "Nanny has because she's old".
Also when same granddaughter asks what it was like before electricity!
Oh and when thirty-something mum with three children shouts "Heyup Brown Owl" across the supermarket.
I work in the NHS, so like Hans Mum, I used to feel old enough to be the junior doctors' mum, but now it feels like I'm old enough to mother the Consultants!Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

Doesn't apply to me, but:
You know your mum's getting old when she says all the other family males' names before yours:
"Caspar, Michael, Clifford, Graham, Edward...Oliver!"
Just like grandma used to
PS. Yes, by that point it's 'Oliver' not 'Ollie' as she's spiraled into a mild temper!Last edited by OllieMartin; 21-10-2009, 03:06 PM.Current Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:

When you go off for the day and your hand bag resembles a suit case because you take:-
Plasters.. Just in case you or anyone in a 2 mile radius falls down.
Tissues... Just in case there's no loo roll.
Wet wipes...Just in case you've forgotten the tissues.
Medication...Just in case.
Tenna Lady...For those momments when a tissue or wet wipe just won't do.
OH's junk. You must have had this one " pop this in your bag love...I've no room for it"
Then after all that, there's the essentials.Comment
